CF Masonry

CF Masonry is a Pelham-based mason, run by Carlos Feliciano, and the written record behind it — 23 reviews on Angi and HomeAdvisor running from 2017 through late 2023 — reads as unusually consistent for a small operation: every single one is five stars, and the specifics repeat the same handful of things about how Carlos works, not just that the work looked good. The range of jobs is wide for one mason. A 2022 review describes a retaining wall built on a steep bank to create a parking spot for a camper van, called both structurally sound and good-looking; that same year, another customer credited Carlos with an "expertly prepared" fix for a foundation issue. Earlier reviews describe him tearing down and rebuilding a chimney after an earlier repair by a different mason had failed and started leaking again (2017), resurfacing two fireplaces in ledge stone that a customer called beautiful (2017), and rebuilding a brick entry stairway in limestone that impressed the neighbors (2017). One customer says, as of a 2023 review, that they've hired Carlos three separate times over seven years and can't speak highly enough of his skill or his communication. What repeats across nearly every account, old and new, is the same pattern: Carlos responds quickly, gives a fair and often competitive quote, shows up when he says he will, and finishes on schedule. More than one reviewer specifically contrasts him with other contractors they'd had bad experiences with before. The one honest caveat is timing: nothing on file is more recent than a December 2023 review, so this is a strong but somewhat dated picture rather than an up-to-the-minute one — worth confirming Carlos is still taking on the same kind of work at a similar pace before counting on it. For stonework, brick repair, retaining walls, or a chimney or fireplace rebuild, though, the specific, repeated praise here — much of it about a single named person doing the actual work — is the kind of detail that's hard to manufacture.
